ABOUT ME

I grew up drawing in pen and ink. I have a background working in architecture and graphic design is an ongoing love affair.

I intuitively use images to distil ideas into their simplest form - as my own way of coping in a world of increasing complexity. I began taking photos as a way of escapism; to deal with my inner struggles. I’m dyslexic. Reading and writing have always been a huge challenge for me. For me, photography is a way out of confusion; to communicate visually, beyond language.

PHILOSOPHY

Above all else - I love people. I understand that to get to a point where someone is open to reveal the fullest expression of themselves, I have to earn it. My aim is to allow people to feel so comfortable within this process that they forget there is a camera in the room.

“You've got to invest in the world, you've got to read, you've got to go to art galleries, you've got to find out the names of plants. You've got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We're amazing...”

Vivienne Westwood

My studio is a safe space. no matter what the topic, every story deserves to be told. There is no room for discrimination or judgement of any kind.

The process of each project begins with exploration, open discussion and understanding of how to best express your individual story -
